AltCity: media, design and tech collaboration space

Hi Everybody!

I work at AltCity (www.altcity.me), working to build a fun community collaboration space around media, tech, and design. ... and supporting startups, especially high-impact (social impact) startups. Have an idea for something you'd like to do, that you are passionate about? No matter how strange or ambitious, come talk to us. We like crazy ideas. :-)

We're also big fans of open source, Creative Commons, and working to address the Millenium Development Goals through innovation, creativity, and social entrepreneurship.

More about AltCity here: www.altcity.me/about

FYI...
A very cool event coming up at AltCity later this October. Kinect MediaLab art/design/tech project ... deadline to apply is Oct 18 at noon:
